The Columbia Book of Yams 

NEW EDITION 
NEW IDEAS 
NEW STYLES 

ONCE upon a time, in the days when Fashions changed 
slowly, the fashions in Knitting and Crocheting 
scarcely changed at all. It's different today! Hand 
knit garments are appreciated more than ever, but 
they must reflect the mode of the moment. Milady loves her 
cozy wools so well that she must knit them up into articles as 
novel and fashionable as her best silk gown. 

Thus it is that each new edition of the Columbia Book of 
Yams is eagerly welcomed for its wealth of new ideas. It is 
the authority on knitting and Crocheting, and this season you 
will find it more interesting than ever, showing many new 
articles and new stitches. 

Yet the Columbia Book of Yarns is not entirely a hand- 
book for the experienced knitter. It is also 

A Practical Patient Teacher for the Beginner 

It has taught hundreds of women every step of the way, 
from the first stitch to finished and beautiful garments, and it 
is just as ready to teach you. Glance over the simple direc- 
tions and the clear illustrations, do they not inspire you to 
begin pleasent lessons in this practical and useful art? 

THE FIRST LESSON 

and the one which no knitter should forget, is : Use Columbia 
Yarns! Beginner or expert, no one should waste time on 
yarns less lovely and less durable. Even poor knitting can- 
not disguise the beauty of Columbia Yams. They are made 
of the best long-fibered wool,— soft, elastic, "lofty," as the wool 
men say, dyed to perfect color-tones. They knit farther and 
fuller than others. Their use means the utmost economy and 
satisfaction. Anything that is worth knitting is worth making 
from Columbia Yarns. 



On the Choice of Yarn 

THE beauty of the articles in this book comes of two things— hand 
work, and a fine yarn. A hand worker, with proper materials, 
will give her work a delicacy, a fineness of finish, a character that 
no machine-made work ever possesses. But she must look to her 
yams to do it. She must find a lofty, elastic, even thread, soft and thin to 
the touch made of a wool sensitive to the slightest gradation of shade and 
color. The COLUMBIA YARNS were used in making all the articles in 
this book, and they meet the requirements. With them work in yarns be- 
comes an art, and good results are easier and surer. 

Stamped by public opinion as the best among yams recognized as good, 
COLUMBIA YARNS cost in the beginning a trifle more than some others 
—otherwise they could not be what they are. In the end they are the 
cheapest of all. For the cheapness of a yarn is determined not alone by what 
you pay for a hank of it, but also by what the hank will do in quality, and 
quantity of work. The coarse, unelastic thread of a common yarn will not 
reach as far as a yarn of a finer texture, and besides, the COLUMBIA 
YARNS contain, pound for pound, more yards than common grades. In the 
finished piece of knitting or crocheting COLUMBIA YARNS mean not only 
quality but economy. 

The brilliancy and shading in COLUMBIA YARNS is unsurpassed. 
There are no flat, cmde, dead colors among them, partly because of the 
way they are dyed, and partly because of the quality of their thread. A fine 
wool receives a color and retains the brilliancy of it, where an inferior wool 
dyes into a lifeless, displeasing shade. 

BLACKS in COLUMBIA YARNS are guaranteed fast. 

In preparing for your work, therefore, you should get COLUMBIA 
YARNS. They are standard, even in quality, and when you get to using 
them you find they demand less of your patience because they do not vary 
from package to package. They are sold by the best retail stores throughout 
the country, with but few exceptions. Should your dealer not handle 
them, write to us and we will refer you to the nearest store that handles the 
complete assortment. '

Explanation of Terms Used in Knitting 
and Crocheting 



IN the following pages are found the 
first stitches in knitting and crochet- 
ing, the more complex stitches are 
made by various repetitions and com- 
binations of the simple ones already 
given. Therefore you will find references 
continually to the first steps, and the 



references are abbreviated. Thus, "work 
Sg. C. or D. C." mean "work a single 
crochet or a double crochet"; the method 
of working these is explained on pages 
11 and 12. The following is a Hst of 
the abbreviations used, with the explana- 
tion of them : 



Ch. — Chain stitch. Explained on page 11. 

81. St — Slip a stitch. Explained on page 11 (crocheting) 
or page 9 (knitting). 

Sg. C. — Single crochet. Explained on page 11. 

D. C— Double crochet. Explained on page 12. 

L. C. — Long crochet. Explained on page 12. 

T. C. or Tr. C— Treble crochet. Explained on page 12. 

P.— Picot 

C— Crochet. 

Th. 0.— Throw over. 

Stars, thus * *, mean that the work described between 
them is to be repeated. They save unnecessary description 
where a row is the same as a preceding one. 

Wrap — Means to throw yam over needle. 



The instructions for every article shown 
or referred to in this book were written 
from the original garment worked out 
with the size Needle or Hook mentioned 
therein. 

We caution all Knitters and Crocheters 



who are inclined to knit or crochet tight 
to use a larger size needle or hook; 
and if loose a smaller size needle or 
hook; otherwise your garment will not 
work out in size according to instruc- 
tions.

Make a loop in the yarn, and put it on the left-hand needle. Slip the right-hand needle 
into the loop throw yarn around the point of right-hand needle, draw it through and slip that 
loop on the left-hand needle. Put the right-hand needle into the. loop just made, and repeat 
until you have the required number of stitches. 

TO KNIT PLAIN 




m 



Having the number of stitches required on the loft-hand needle, slip the right-hand needle 
into the last stitch made. Throw yarn over right-hand needle and draw through stitch. Re- 
peat until all the stitches are on the right-hand needle. 

TO PURL OR SEAM 




Bring the yarn in front of the right-hand needle, take up the stitch on the left-hand needle 
by slipping right-hand needle into the front of stitch. Throw yarn around the back of needle 
as it passes in the stitch, catch it in, and take it off. Be careful always to carry the yarn back 
of the needle after a purled stitch before knitting a plain stitch.

stitch, then pass the slipped stitch over the knitted one. 

Note. — Sometimes the slipped stitch is passed over 2 and even over 3 stitches knitted to- 
gether, where it is necessary to decrease the number of stitches. 

TO BIND OFF 




Knit the first 2 stitches, pass the first stitch back over the second stitch, knit 1 stitch, pass 
the stitch on the right-hand needle over it, and repeat mitil but 1 stitch remains. Draw yarn 
through and break off. 

10 



First Stitches: Crocheting

Directions for Washing Knitted Garments 
to Avoid Shrinking 



1. Make warm Soap Suds (not luiicli soap). 
Proper heat for the suds is just uncomfortably 
liot for the hands, but so as not to seahl. 

2. The washhig and rinsing sliould all be 
done in warm — not hot water. 

3. Use pure soap only; no chemicals or 
washing powders. 

4. Do not rub soap on the garment. Put the 
garment through the wringer and back in the 
suds 3 or 4 times. Rinse out in clear water, 
rerii thoroughly. 



5. Wash carefully, rubbing as little as pos- 
sible, and never on a icashboard. 

G. Let the Suds and Wringer do the work. 

7. Stretch the garments lengthwise and dry 
quickly in the open air. 

Part of the reward of buying a good yarn 
<()mes to you when you wash the garment made 
of it. The best wool stands washing best, and 
the best is Columbia. 

Xo garment, however, should be washed with- 
out the greatest care, in accordance with the 
directions given.
